A CHANCE

In this place...
There's just too much time to think.
Dwell on things...
and all of my mistakes.
How can I look at you...
When I know I'll see such pain?
But my eyes need you...
It's your face that keeps me sane.

And if I were to close my eyes..
To all I've put you through.
Build walls around my heart...
And never look at you.
Then I know..
That I truely would be lost.
But I know...
that you would come and save me...
regardless of the cost.

So here I am...
looking into your eyes.
Trying to say I'm sorry...
for necessary lies.
How can I expect...
for you to understand?
That behind pain and confusion...
In your eyes I see a chance.

A chance to make things right someday...
Somehow erase all this pain.
Look into each others eyes as we grow old...
And keep each other sane.
